Posing a bold question for the culture — Fellas, is it gay to be attracted to attractive women? Over the last year and change, Italian model Gio Scottii has evolved from a TikTok influencer into a meme among Gen Z’s most down horrendous incels, a notion stemming from one viral tweet likening her appearance to that of a 13-year-old Greek boy.

“This is what 13-year-old [sic] boys looked like in Ancient Greece,” wrote Twitter user @hindustanilion5, who despite knowing a hell of a lot about ancient pre-teens had evidently never seen a woman in his entire life.




“You wonder why they were all gay pedophiles,” he continued before stating the quiet part out loud, stating that “shit I would be one too.”


And it seems that @hindustanilion5 is far from alone. In the months since his initial tweet set the bowels of horny Twitter ablaze, several other likeminded incels — who apparently also lose their shit upon the mere sight of an attractive woman — piled on the bandwagon, boldly proclaiming that they, too, would sleep with Scottii … so long as she were a 13-year-old Greek boy.


Beyond their apparent kink for poising themselves as gay pedos, fans started getting real weird with it, creating FaceApp morphs envisioning the model as a man and imagining obscure love triangle scenarios, a sentiment that grew so insufferably resounding, Scottii herself had to sound off on the drama.



“for those who don't speak Italian: I'm referring to the meme of months ago according to which I should be a 13-year-old Greek boy. and, since i don't use Twitter, I have only now discovered everything that is being created behind it,” she continued, adding that she didn’t “even know what to think.”


As Twitter user @slatzism  — a.k.a. pagliacci the hater — so aptly put it “what is it about this woman that makes dudes on Twitter want to say “I’m a gay pedophile”?
